I'm glad you got your package safely! I thought about sending you the patterns too, but wasn't sure if you would want them, and then I found myself stuffing that package pretty firmly in the end . That's funny about the ladybug, because I actually started making a dragonfly one from the leftover green yarn, and ran out just as I had 6 rows to go, so I sent the ladybug one instead, since I had made that recently too, as practice.

I love that twin leaves pattern too, and think it would be pretty as a scarf. I think I twisted the yarn funny in the way I did it because in the original there was a lacier/eyelet effect that I just didn't get with mine. Also, I added to the border and the beginning and end rows to get a slightly bigger cloth.

Here is the pattern - she's got lots of really nice patterns for scarves, hats, etc on her blog, but she uses some non-standard pattern writing. Luckily she does try to explain it well:

Everything looks gorgeous!!I can crochet but only very basic stuff...I started because I have a pinky issue (you can laugh) that knitting used to make flare up really bad. I have had surgery twice and it always seems better right after surgery but it is bad again so I may have to get better at crochet!I received my LOVELY package from froggmamma but unfortunately my camera is dead. I just started charging the battery so I should have the pictures posted by tomorrow.She made me lovely things

Everytime i see neat knitted stuff makes me wish I could figure it out, but two sticks is a but much for my brain to process. LOL So I think i'll just stick to crochet.

It's so funny that you say that, froggmomma, because I have tried so many times to teach myself to crochet and I can't do it! Knitting is so easy in my mind, but I just can't master crochet.

I am going to Utube & reviewing those videos again--my knitting doesn't look like knitting pics in the patterns & mags, but a big tangled MESS & I frogg it & grab a hook!It's on one stitch! front is knit back is purl--Drop a stitch & K2T....THAT is why I like these exchanges--I can practice, then get frustrated & mail out crochet LOL
